Antioch High School senior punished for prank

May 26, 2009

An Antioch High School senior who rode his motorbike through school halls last week in what he called a senior prank was charged with reckless conduct and will not be allowed to walk in the school's graduation ceremony, officials said.

In a statement to police, Jacob Lucas, 18, of the 42500 block of North Tiffany Road said he rode his Honda XR 80 motorbike to school May 18, then rode it through the gym, the commons and the math hallway and exited through the north doors, Antioch Police Cmdr. Jim Ruth said.

Lucas posted $75 bail and was released, Ruth said.

Lucas said the incident occurred during class time and that no one was ever in danger.

"I have never been in trouble with the school ever," Lucas said. "I thought it was a harmless prank where nobody would be hurt and no damage would be done."

Several students said they wore T-shirts to school Friday supporting Lucas, but they were asked to remove them.
